a certain chorus choir III st. Paul he
would certainly have subject that de-
serves attention, and that is flirting
with the hymn book during divine wor-
ship. \ couple were looking over the
pages of the hymnal during prayer and

brought on the course, full of enthuSi-
asm and rose:-tinted. illusions, and just
dying for an invitation to spend a few
delightful hours at the lake.
